Kamala Harris has ‘rabbit ears’ for any criticism: new book

Vice President Kamala Harris has “rabbit ears” for criticism, according to a new book that suggests she has paper-thin skin and is extraordinarily sensitive to any disapproval.

In “The Last Politician,” due out Tuesday, author Franklin Foer writes that Harris, 58, is so sensitive that her White House colleagues have taken to comparing her to a frightened rabbit.

‘”Harris possessed what one of her colleagues described as ‘rabbit ears,’” Foer writes in his bombshell book.

“Whenever there was a hint of criticism of her — either in the West Wing or in the press — she seemed instantly aware of it,” he writes in an excerpt that was first reported on Fox News.

“Rather than brushing it aside, she wanted to know who was speaking ill of her and what they were saying,” Foer writes, noting that when Harris “read a devastating story” on a news website “about her mismanagement of her team,” the vice president “responded by briefly freezing out an aide whom she suspected of cooperating with reporters.”

“She let the criticism guide her,” added Foer, a writer for The Atlantic magazine.

“Instead of diligently sticking to the Central America assignment, she seemed to accept the conventional wisdom about it. It was a futile gig, so she let it fall to the side, missing an opportunity to grind her way to a meaningful achievement.”

A staggering 49 percent of registered voters have a negative view of Harris, with just 32 percent who view her positively, according to a June NBC News poll.

Meanwhile, Biden seemed not to trust Harris with important issues, according to the book.

President Biden “treated [Harris] with impeccable respect, [but] he simply didn’t hand her the substantive role that he played in the Obama administration.”

Biden “helped plug the gaps in Obama’s resume” but that the president “didn’t need Harris in the same way Obama needed Biden,” according to Foer.

“Ron Klain assumed the role of Harris’ guide,” Foer writes, referring to Biden’s former chief of staff.

“He thought of himself as the building’s resident expert on the vice presidency, having worked for both Al Gore and Joe Biden as they sat in the second chair.”

“But he struggled to productively help her. He felt Harris kept making life excessively difficult by imposing all sorts of constraints on herself,” Foer said.

“She told him that she didn’t want to work on women’s issues or anything to do with race,” he writes.

“She wanted her office to be majority female — and to have a Black woman as chief of staff.”

Foer adds that, to “Klain’s ear, she was creating too many rules, and they made it hard for her to find her footing.”
